Feedback about 2.7.8

[Adrien Monteleone]

Alen,

A follow-up on the button...

Check out the CSS section of: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkButton.html

It seems there are no child nodes of button.

But this reference does say it will get the class .image-button or .text-button.

My suspicion would be to try .text-button as the selector instead of just [button] and see what happens.

It would be nice if their reference included some examples or links to some such resource. The W3C has a much more complete reference for their specs, unfortunately, they aren’t in the context of designing a UI.

Regards,
Adrien
